Racetrack Phil is officially barred from Maywood Park for "Touting" in the super-booth on Friday November 18, sources say. Apparently Phil has been known to tout players who have the capability of wagering large sums of money on races. In case you are not aware of this method, he attempts to pick winners for real gamblers. unlike himself, and hope that they win using his picks. He then will harass them for a "gapper" or tip for his services. These players have finally become fed-up with him and decided to address the problem to management. "He is a menace to our valued customers and a disgrace to the Illinois gamblers", says D. Johnston. I personally feel that he is a disgrace because he claims to be a professional handicapper and yet he relies on others to win. I personally feel that this action should have been taken a long time ago. I guess late is better than never.
